Alashkert vs Celtic: TV channel, live stream, squad news & preview

The Scottish champions begin their journey towards the group stage of the competition with the first of their qualifying ties

Celtic get their Champions League campaign underway for 2018-19 when they take on Armenian champions Alashkert in the first leg of their first qualifying round on Tuesday.

Brendan Rodgers' side face a much more arduous path towards the group stage of the competition this season, with four potentially hazardous qualifying rounds to navigate.

As such, they will be eager to hit the ground running by securing a positive result away from home in Yerevan, in order to put themselves in a strong position for the return leg in Glasgow.
